Above is the quilt top for my friend, M. It's made of recycled clothing, which has been super interesting. There's cotton, rayon, velvet, poly blends...it's been difficult and terrific because I hated putting it together (the stretch fabric gives such unreliable shapes) but I love the end product. It's kind of wonky and askew, but I think really cute. I'm going to stitch the ditch and do a stripped binding from the left over fabric. The back is going to be red minky.
Here is my first Autumn themed quilt. I have made half a dozen Halloween quilts, but never a Fall/Autumn one. Since I was blessed with Joann's gift cards for Christmas and Joann's happened to be having a major sale, I decided to try out AmandaJean's zig zag without triangles pattern. It totally works! I recommend it to anyone who hates triangles. I am going to piece the back with some of the incorporated fabrics and bind in brown. I'm not so sure about the quilting yet, but we'll see. Maybe I'll do swirls or something.
I hope to finish the top two projects soon (before the 25th-when the semester begins) and also have plans for another version of the zig zag quilt with blues and greens.
